An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the -blood,
relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.
Mr. Jambs 0. Lee, of 1100 Oth St.,

Believes Monkeys Do Not Know Much
flUT" MfTAT rr
WASHINGTON. Instinctive imita
tat ion is all the monkey lias. In
ferential imitations are not among his
mental equipment. Physiologically he
is closely related to the greatest mind
the world has ever known, but that is
where the wise man stops in his
drawing of parallels.
Such are the conclusions of Prof.
W. T. Shepherd, of George Washing
ton university. He has had a dozen
assorted monkeys caged in the labora
tory of the university for months,
trying to get from any or all of them
what a layman would designate a
gleam of intelligence.
These little copies of the human
being were invited to do dozens of
stunts such as trained animals are
taught, but the professor made no
effort to compel them to learn them.
He simply made conditions such that
if they had had any reasoning power
they would have been able to figure
out a way of doing the desired stunts
without any further assistance from
him. But not one showed what to
the professor would be evidence of the
reasoning power. Not one showed
capacity to watch the professor do a
certain thing and then do it himself
because he liked the result.
Not one of them, for instance, was
able to trip the lever that released a
peanut, although the professor showed
them often how to do it. All. however,
held forth dirty paws begging for the
peanut. Not one even made what the
men who study mental phenomena
"Bandits" Seal Promise with Kisses
WASHINGTON'S "Dirty Dozen" has
been reduced by three. Judge De
Lacy did It when he bade three very
small boys, accused of stealing cigars,
pipes, milk and bread, to kiss their
parents and promise never, never,
never again to try to emulate the
Forty Thieves or any other bad people
and to turn back to the owners of
the property three dollars and some
cents to compensate for the loss.
"And remember," said the judge,
"keep away from the gang you call
the Dirty Dozen. If you must have a
gang, make up one of good compan
ions, who will teach you something
that will do you some good."
Judge Do Lacy has a way of making
a boy tell him just what tho boy is
when he has taken anything that does
not belong to him.
"Now, what would you call the hoy
who took a watch of yours and didn't
give it back?"
The biggest boy hung his head and
twisted his cap and wanted to sink
through the floor.
President and Speaker in a "Hoe Down"
SOCIALLY and politically the dinner
given for Speaker Cannon at the
White House recently marked some
thing of an epoch, for not before in
many years has a president enter
tained in honor of the speaker of the
house of representatives. Speaker
Cannon was never entertained at the
White House with an exclusive official
function during all of the seven years
of President Roosevelt's occupancy,
and no previous affair has been given
in his honor by President Taft.
About fifty guests, nearly all of
whom were senators and members of
the house, accompanied by their
wives, looked on and applauded when
the speaker tempted President Taft
into a test of terpsichorean agility in
the east room. Both stopped, pant
ing, when the trial was ended, but
the opinion was unanimous that the
Conscience Stricken, Appeals to Taft
A MUTILATED Lincoln penny
weighed on the mind of Patrick
Peterson of Buxton, la., to such an ex
tent that he has written p. letter in
regard to the coin to President Taft.
The shining new penny made a great
bit with Patrick, and he decided to
make a lucky piece of it. Pi he bored
a hole through the penny to hang it
call a trial in error.
The professor Is satisfied that the
monkeys have no memory of things
in the sense that they are able to call
up a picture, place, person or thing.
There is no question that they are
able to recall having seen a person
when that person stands before them,
in other words, they are the equal of
any of the domestic animals in that
respect.
He can not even subscribe to the
Darwin belief that they have imagina
tion, such r3 Darwin thought dogs
have because of the evidence before
him that dogs dream in much the
same way that human beings do.
Professor Shepherd did not enter
upon the experiments with a view to
establishing a theory or to disprove
a theory advanced by another, but
simply to find out for himself the
mental capacity or want of capacity
of the lumenoids available for his ex
perimental ' work. The professor is
convinced that when a monkey
scratches his head, very much as a
man does when he is perplexed. It is
no evidence of thought on the part of
the monkey. His idea is that it Is a
purely physiological phenomenon, per
haps due to the similarity of construc
tion of a man and a monkey.
Another thing the professor feels
warranted in saying Is that the mon
key is not any more imitative than
many other animals. He shows that
monkeys that have had a merry-go-round
in their cages, that revolves
when they jump on-it, will' continue to
jump on a contrivance of that kind
that is fastened so that it will not
revolve and continue to go through
the motions necessary to make a prop
er merry-go-round perform its proper
functions, just as if the first trial had
produced results.
I "Tell me. now. what would you call
him?"
The biggest boy's lips framed the
words:
"A thief."
And in that way Clerk Harper,
listening attentively, knew that the
boy had pleaded guilty. Each of them
did, for that matter.
The judge ordered the middle-sized
youngster to step around and kiss his
mother and ask her to forgive him,
and to understand that he would
never, never do it again, and would
have nothing to do with the Dirty
Dozen.
The middle-sized boy sulked. The
spirit of the proud rover of the Span
ish main told him that to kiss a wom
an in court, even his mother, was a
puerile thing to do.
'"Kiss me," whispered the mother.
The boy still stood debating with
himself.
"Do you want to go to the reform
school?" thundered the judge.
And then the proud rover of the
Spanish main turned and fled, and
the erstwhile dirty digit became his
mother's little boy again, and was
caught in a loving pair of arms, and
tears ran down the faces of the boy
and his mother and several other
women who were in court.
And the other dirty two had to
kiss their fathers, that the ends of
justice might be met.
honors of fancy steps .were even. The
dancing followed the dinner.
The dinner ended, the company
went to the east room, which boasts
an ample and smooth dancing floor.
An orchestra played a gentle waltz
and the president led oft! with Mrs.
Joseph H. Gaines, wife of the repre
sentative from West Virginia. The
speaker, with Miss Laughlin, a sister
of Mrs. Taft, glided out on the pol
ished floor in the wake of his chief.
Then the dance was on.
In the intermission, however, when
the orchestra struck up a lively tune,
Uncle Joe stepped briskly into the
middle of the room and brought his
heels together sharply. There was a
patting of gloved hands and voices
called encouragingly to the guest of
honor. In a moment the speaker's
heels were swinging in a brilliant
highland fling.
"Excellent, eh?" he called, exulting
ly to Mr. Taft. "I was something of
a dancer when I was a youngster."
For answer the president stepped
smilingly forward, and those who
were present say the two executed
several steps of an old-fashioned "hoe
down" that delighted every one. Both
were puffing when they finished.
on a chain.
When the hole was bored Peterson
remembered the law relative to muti
lating coins. He searched his con
science and found himself to be a law
breaker. It is probable that he had in
mind the power of the president of
the United States to pardon offenders
against the law when he wrote the
following letter, inclosing the penny,
which was received at the White
House:
"President Taft, Washington, D. C:
Please find one cent which I bored a
hole In and feel very sorry for it.
Hoping you will forgive me. Yours
truly, Patrick Peterson, Buxton, la.
p. S. Hcfsjng to hear from you."

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;

Woman's Power

Woman's most glorious endowment is the power
to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a
worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on,
do one in the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers from weak
ness and derangement of her special womanly or
ganism soon loses the power to sway the heart of
a man. Her general health suffers and she loses
her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability
and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with
the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many
thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail
